Suppliers out source for cost reduction. Fact of life that we all get. The Chinese cut corners to help their profits. And as stated. We don't know who approved the short cuts. Yes. China can produce good products. But seem to need over site. When I buy anything. I'll buy a US, Canada, or Mexico product over China, if given a chance. As consumers. We in this country seem to not return defective product. The only reason that I ended up with the China product. Was that I was out of town/time. Thankfully I had bought the USA made Carter 4070 as a back up. The first pump that failed was a mechanical. The next was a Mr Gasket ( blue in color ) that worked for about 1000 miles. Next was a Car Quest that got me from Albert Lee Mn to Cedar Rapids Ia. Then about 70 miles to Newton Ia. A total of around 210 miles. All three were from Advance Auto Parts. And all had filters before the inlets. Then on top of that. Advance wouldn't do any warranty unless I had the sales slip from the store I got the pump from.

I couldn't get to the track in time for the tech inspection. So I'm out my track fee. I buy my tires just before track day because these tires age out in days/ months. I have $11.75 a gallon 110 octane leaded gas aging. I changed the engine for this track event. Now I need to change back to the engine that I just pulled out. In short. I'm pissed off. Now I'm working to get my Howell EFI on the GMC for the trip to Elkhart in a few weeks. Bob Dunahugh

This is the third pump that has failed in the last 13 month. And with every failure. I couldn't find a Carter 4070. So I could only get China pumps. This time I had brought a Carter pump with me. And because of this delay. I couldn't get to the track in time for safety inspection. This latest pump got me 210 miles before failure. The Carter got me home. Now this means I can get back to installing my EFI. Bob Dunahugh
